Interviews and Interrogations PolicyIn the world of security, interviews, and interrogations play a key role in solving a case or putting a face to a crime committed. They can be similar but they also have several differences. Interviews and interrogations also come with legal issues because of the way they are conducted. Putting a security policy in place within the organization can help guide security personnel when conducting interviews and interrogations. Interviews and Interrogations

Security interviews and interrogations are a way to gather information and facts regarding a case. They both use forms of conversation to attain the most information from the person they are talking to. Establishing a relationship on some level will help both an interview and interrogation. There are major differences between interviews and interrogations. Interviews and interrogations are two very different things. Suspects are interrogated; witnesses are interviewed (Stephens, (n.d.). Interviews

Interviews are informal meetings with a person to gain information regarding a case. The person being interviewed should feel relaxed in order to be open and willingly give information that will help the security officer on the case. They should take place as soon as possible so the details are fresh in the person’s memory and an outside party cannot sway their thoughts. Interviews are used when talking to victims, witnesses, and family members or friends. People being interviewed are normally open and willing to give information regarding the case or personnel under question if they do not believe they are being threatened or intimidated. People being interviewed can help the security personnel gain insight and key details to piece together the bigger puzzle or possibly solving the crime. Respect, truthfulness, and an open-ended conversation should get the interview going in a positive direction and allow the interviewee a chance to express openly and share what...

...Essay 1
An interview is a planned questioning of a witness, victim, or any other person that may have information related to a case of incident. When interviewing officers should use open ended questions to obtain facts important to their case. In order for an officer to be a good interviewer they should be able to build rapport with people. This means that the officer needs to give and receive trust and respect. During an interview the officer tries to develop behavioral and investigative information. When an interview is being conducted it should be in an area where there are limited distractions, there shouldn’t be any furniture between the two and if possible there should only be one interviewer. When interviewing people the officer should have a relaxed tone and posture. The interviewer should also make sure that the questions that he/she is asking are being correctly understood. An interview should never reveal any investigative information but should always cover who, what, why, when, where, and how.

Discuss the difference between the terms interview and interrogation
The main differences, between interview and interrogation are that an interview is conducted in a friendly or social able atmosphere where a witness is more comfortable physically and psychologically. However, when a possible suspect is questioned in an uncomfortable atmosphere, where he or she is under psychological stress and pressure, it is an interrogation.
Identify the rule when Miranda Warnings are required
When the police arrest a suspect and want to ask questions, the law in the United States requires law officials to issue specific warnings, (Miranda rights) to the person being arrested, or the statement will fail to be admitted into evidence. This rule and protocol was put in affect to properly protect the constitutional rights against forced self – incrimination and to secure the assistance of counsel in criminal proceedings. Even though these rights have been in effect since the signing of the Bill of Rights, the warnings incident to arrest developed 200 years later as a way of protecting the rights from encroachment by over aggressive law officials. (Ehow, 2012)
Discuss the legal implications of the term in custody
The term “In Custody” can be very flexible and may mean actual imprisonment, incarceration, physical imprisonment, and/or manual possession. In order for a...

...and the Police Department and the
Names that was listed in this lawsuit on the Detectives on this case. James Cassidy and Kenneth
Boudreau were being sued for misrepresenting themselves as law abiding officers when they
Made false allegations on these young men and place on them false confessions.
There were many errors gone badly in this case. For one, they did not bring forward the
Semen that was taken at the crime scene into the eyes of the court. Upon capture of these four
Young men (whom was teenagers at the time) I believed that no Miranda Rights were read to
Them another major error was that (none) of these young men parents were presence when
They were being interrogated, nor were no council was brought in. The interrogations was a
Lengthy process and the four young men were coerced or force to commit to a crime they knew
They had nothing to do with it. No physical evidence was brought forward on these young men,
Only their confessions that were made out of fear.

...This paper that I am about to write is a case study on a juvenile confession. When I read this story it really bothered me that young people confess when they get in front of high authority people even if they didn’t do anything. Are these so called lawyers, attorneys and prosecutors, scaring these young people so much that they tell them things to make them confess? Well after reading this story, I have realized that this has happened more than once, and is becoming to be a pattern with some of these big shot people that are supposed to take the law seriously and help those in need, not make the ones in need of help scared half to death to ask us for it.
On November 7, 1994, in the neighborhood of Englewood, on the south side of Chicago, a worker was outside cleaning up behind a liquor store and when he went to the dumpster to put the garbage in, he found the body of an African American woman who was badly beaten. When the woman was identified, the found out that she was a prostitute and her name was Nina Glover. At the scene of the crime, the policed interviewed a male who was a resident of the neighborhood, his name was Johnny Douglas. He denied that he knew the victim so the police let him go. Now four months after finding this woman in the dumpster, the police had no leads but someone called them and gave them a tip, so they acted on it. They arrested four African American teenagers, (Vincent Thames, Terrill Swift, Harold Richardson and Michael Saunders) for...

“Evasion is the indirect method of deception.” - Stan B. Walters (2000).
The importance of whether or not a criminal case is solvable depends upon the evidence obtained from the crime scene, witnesses, victims, and suspects. Many cases are never pursued or solved due to a lack of evidence retrieved during the interview and/or interrogation phase of a criminal investigation. One interview/interrogation technique is kinesics or the study of non-verbal body language. There are a variety of types of kinesics used. The use of kinesics techniques can be beneficial during criminal investigations by assisting an investigator to obtain information not voluntarily given by a victim, witness or suspect. Kinesics is a commonly recognized tool and is a standard focus in enforcement training. Utilizing these techniques provide investigators another facet to assist them in either uncovering pertinent information or dismissing unnecessary testimony, and in some cases can save lives.
In order for a criminal case to be pursued evidence is required to determine whether or not a crime has been committed. The first line of defense in pursuing evidence is to conduct interviews and possibly...

...An interview is when a person that is not suspected in a crime is questioned but knows something about the crime or the people involved (Hess &amp; Hess, p. 184). Interviewing is an attempt to solicit information from a witness by using persuasive or congenial methods. It involves gathering information by talking to people and questioning them. At a crime scene, the main sources of information are the witnesses, the victim, and the complainant. In some cases these sources are the same person.
An interrogation is the questioning of a suspect that is directly or indirectly involved in a crime (Hess &amp; Hess, p.184). It is usually more difficult to question a suspect than questioning a witness or a victim. Once the suspect is identified and located, the person can admit to the crime, make a statement, or confess to that crime (Hess &amp; Hess, p. 190). An interrogation is accusatory. Investigators use behavioral methods to determine if the suspect is telling the truth. By using tactics such as using statements instead of asking questions can allow the person to confess.
The Miranda warning informs a suspect of their Fifth Amendment rights and is given before interrogating a suspect that is in custody. This right must be known to the suspect before the investigators can question that person. The general meaning and application of the Miranda warning is that once an officer has reasonable grounds to believe that a person...
